What is Partnering 4 Resilience?

Partnering 4 Resilience will draw together government agencies, peak bodies, Traditional Owners, and other relevant organisations to work as a collective practitioners group to share knowledge and provide advice to each other.

We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original custodians of Victoria’s land and waters, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices. We are committed to enabling self-determination for all Aboriginal people and aim to work closely with the Aboriginal community to drive action and improve outcomes especially in the context of a changing climate.
